Maradona: The telenovela begins: Resignation

Now it is Oscar Ruggeri.

Maradona wants the former Boca defender and 1986 team mate as his assistant. Ruggeri, an outstanding defender for his country has a poor record in managerial positions. It has led to a standoff between Julio Grondona and Maradona, with threats that he will resign if Ruggeri is not included. Grondona does not like Ruggeri's face and says its a personal thing.

I have a feeling that the Albiceleste themselves have suspended match practice and are watching these episodes slack jawed. How could you not? Maradona's selection is the next biggest idiotic thing since John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate but it does not make it any less fascinating.
